Good Call on the money/currency, Need to find the francs that Eisenhower had issued that pissed of De Gaulle. Think it was like 10 or 20 francs per Soldier... Ganna try to to find maybe some 1943 or earlier Red Cross / Donated type cards like that Coca Cola Notebook. Something that a Soldier didn't have to buy. vintage playing cards shouldn't be to hard... I wouldn't know where to begin with a personal size camera from that 40s that an avg Joe would/could own and carry... Good Thoughts thank you!

Well, wow... That's a nice looking set-up thank you for sharing! I'm going to add some of these to mine for sure, a Stars and Stripes late May (troops were on ships already or in embarkation areas by June 3rd, would expect S&S that a Soldier had to be a few days or a week old come the morning of 6 June. Styptic pencil good call, a Comb, some cards, and Francs. Really going for the on hand/haversack trying to represent more of the minimalist. Charms oh Charms... Still hate them and there is still an aura of unluckiness about them even today with them in our MREs.

Depending on if your guy is a minimalist or a collector/hoarder/scrounge:

GI's also carried and were issued US currency as a form of the yellow seal North Africa US notes $1 - $5 and $10 denominations these were only used overseas in Europe and are the precurser to the MPC script notes.

The South Pacific GI's used the brown seal Hawaii notes as their military payment script.
